Back from the Big Apple......and feeling a bit.......GREEN!!
Hi all,
Just got home home a couple of hours ago for New York. YES......its straped on my wrist as I type. A brand new SUB LV!! I picked it up at an AD in New Jersey, that Mark set me up with. the second day I flew in to New york. One thing I can say is.....I LIKE!!!!! Thinking that I might at some point want to have the option of changing the bezel insert to the classic black, I also paid a visit ot Rolex NY. I simply poped the insert out of my Classic Sub and told them how sad I was to have lost it I'll post some pics after I get my camera unpacked.. |

Congratulations, Alex. Well done. Enjoy the Kermit.
So how was the rest of the trip? Give us a blow by blow (with pictures, perhaps).

Welcome aboard Ron! You do realise that within the next week the WHO's going to label you as a breeding ground for Bacillus Rolexis LV strain and slap warning labels all over you?
Congratulations on the Kermit, Alex!
